Gongtan is a village located on the banks of the Wu River, a tributary of the Yangtze. It has a history of over 1700 years.
In 2007, the Datang International Power Generation Company built a dam on the Wu's upper reaches. The people of Gongtan were going to be relocated.
While their father Ran Qicai, an old boat tracker, lies in bed ill, his sons Ran Qingsong, a barber, and Ran Si, a cell-phone shop proprietor, pull the people of Gongtan together to make a stand against the village's relocation.
But while the will of the townspeople wavers amid pressure and suspicion, the two self-appointed leaders step up and fight fiercely for their rights. This is a struggle to save their land and homes.
Ran Qicai succumbs to illness. As the sound of bulldozers mingles with the sounds of the funeral, the houses fall, heralding the end of an era.

龔灘位於長江支流烏江邊上,有一千七百多年歷史。2007年,大唐國際發電有限公司在烏江上游修建水電站,龔灘居民的家園面臨搬遷。老縴夫冉奇才病臥床榻,理髮師冉勁松和手機店老闆冉四,組織古鎮居民進行抗爭……兩個自告奮勇的領頭人,在激憤中爭取著自身的利益,而居民們則在高壓和猜忌中渙散了意志。這是一場註定要失敗的家園保衛戰。
冉奇才病逝。喪禮聲中,挖土機聲響起,家園就此坍塌,喻示著一段歷史的消亡……
